"No, you can't leave yet!" Madam Smith was so anxious that she didn't even eat the washed cherries and pushed Maryanne directly in front of Amelia, "Take this opportunity to apologize to Miss Amelia right now!"
Maryanne was confused. "Didn't she just say let bygones be bygones? Mom, why even bother?"
Madam Smith suddenly let out a long sigh and put both hands on her abdomen and said, "Back in the day, when I was pregnant with you, I had a difficult delivery and the doctor asked me if the accident happened, would I keep the baby or me? And I said the baby..."
"Stop!" Maryanne made a pause gesture and said to her mother with annoyance, "Can you stop saying that?"
"Oh, do you know why I risked giving birth to you? Because in my vision, you must grow up to be a beautiful and virtuous girl, but the way you're behaving today, I really regret having you...," said Madam Smith, sparing no effort to destroy Maryanne's self-esteem.
Looking at Maryanne's red face of anger, Amelia turned her head and laughed quietly with a subtle shrug of her shoulders...
Not wanting her to laugh any further, Maryanne asked, angry and embarrassed, "Ahem, you, it was my fault at the birthday party that day! Can you
forgive me?"
Under Maryanne's angry stare, Amelia pursed her lips and said leisurely, "Considering you're so sincere..."
She'd better talk faster! Maryanne stood still and was very angry!
Amelia paused for a moment and said, "I'll forgive you."
"Mom, it's that working out?" Maryanne asked Madam Smith, pointing at Amelia.
Madam Smith said reassuringly, "Well, it's good to see you settle your feud. Miss Amelia is your brother's good friend, you can call her Amelia from now on, maybe soon she will be his girlfriend."
The last sentence shocked Amelia, did Madam Smith misunderstand something?
"Hobart's girlfriend?" Maryanne stared at Amelia fiercely. That b*tch! To facilitate hooking up with her big brother, Amelia actually ingratiated herself with her mother first, shameless!
Right at this moment...
The door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and the sound of footsteps followed.
Amelia had a bad feeling about it. There was only one person who could bring her that feeling...
"Patrick!" Maryanne cried out before Amelia did. She had loved Patrick for a long time, But he never took a look at her. Nevertheless, she still couldn't look away from him.
Patrick looked at Maryanne coldly. He hadn't seen her for a long time. Sometimes he didn't even remember her. If Maryanne hadn't caused trouble for Amelia and Florence the other day, he wouldn't have sent anyone to her store to hinder her business.
Florence, who was behind Patrick, saw Maryanne with disgust in her eyes. On the way here, Patrick had already explained to her that Maryanne was Hobart's sister.
Hobart was injured and hospitalized because of Florence, which indirectly led to her feeling humiliated when facing The Smith Family, including Maryanne.
Looking at the handsome man and the pretty woman who came uninvited, Hobart's mother asked in confusion, "Excuse me, who are you?"
